Scheffler gets some help from Clark, but can't take advantage at the US Open

Scheffler gets a boost from Wyndham Clark at the U.S. Open, but he fails to seize the moment and apply pressure in Sunday’s finish. At Shinnecock Hills, the world No. 1, celebrating his 30th birthday, shot 1-over 71 with just two birdies and ended in a tie for fourth, three strokes behind Clark. Clark closed out the event by beating Sam Burns by one shot to capture his second title in four years, after squandering a door-open opportunity early in the round. Scheffler had entered the final round as the best bet among a four-way tie for second, but drifted into a three-way deadlock. His best chance came at the par-5 16th, when Clark made birdie to extend the lead.
